syria's foreign policy is a question mark and i don't think actually any of the players involved has much of a clue about that. because you i want you want regime change or if you're asking for really demanding regime change without understanding what the unintended consequences could be that's interesting yes we are because many thousands of innocent lives are at stake that's the key. anyone who insists on maintaining the regime is condemning thousands more innocent people in syria to death and that's why what matters is not what the foreign policy of the new syrian government will be but the removal of this vicious dictatorship as soon as part of well ok i want to think that russia's own interests can be preserved in that situation if it is willing to negotiate seriously with syria and i'm pretty sure we all agree that they're talking to them and my well what do you think about that the the law of unintended consequences here is again i can bring up libya when i mean maybe it's not a mass and it's getting worse. right but i mean without even comparing i would say the choice of fore

policy -- their first foreign policy statement of policy after he entered into the presidency. and there's an emphasis in each of those documents on continuing the arms control agenda. continuing arms control work. there aren't any details laid out there, but i do think it is important that that kind of emphasis has appeared and also a very positive perspective on the new stark treaty. there's been a positive and i would say practical approach to implementation of the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty. as far as the arms control traditional nuclear arms control environment i see a continuity there with the way this issue has been approached since the late '60s, early 1970s and the soviet union when even though there were ups and downs in the relationship, both washington and moscow saw nuclear arms control to be in their national security interests. so with fits and starts and sometimes negotiations would halt for a while, certainly they did during the 1980s for a while, nevertheless, they would continue up again after perhaps a pause. so i don't really see at the moment a difficulty in th

[applause] also, the great strides we have made have been on foreign policy. the fact that we can once again talk in republican circles and make it credible, talking about what eisenhower said, be aware of the military-industrial complex, talk about the old days when robert taft said we should not be engaged in these entangling alliances. he believed what the founders taught us. he did not even want to be in nato. we don't need nato to tell us when to go to war. [applause] we have seen a great difference, the maturity of the american people are behind us on this whole war effort. they are tired of the war, it costs too much money, too many people get killed, too many people get injured, too many people get sick and maybe 70 or 80% of the american people are saying it is time to get out of afghanistan. [applause] those are the issues. that we have broad front and center. there are out there. they will not go away. we have a tremendous opportunity to continue this momentum. it will not be long dead there will be an election in new hampshire and believe me, this

what is the most important pressing foreign policy question you think that needs to be debated in the course of this presidential campaign? >> well, i think in many ways what the role of the united states is, how do we operate internationally and how much is the world dependent on us, how do our national interests play into that? and obviously dealing with the terrorist threat is very important, nuclear proliferation, how to make sure that the worst weapons don't get into the hands of the worst people. our economic security obviously plays into that because our strength depends on our strength at home. it's the integration of all of these issues and then basically what you are responsibilities are towards our allies and to those that in many ways are suffering as a result of their desire for freedom. >> and look what we have just this weekend with a g-8 meeting and nato at a time when the euro zone is under tremendous economic strain which could have an impact on our own economy here, the whole issue of economic austerity becoming an issue for our debt problems here in the u.s. so we
